The Retirement Thread

Jet washed and waxed bottom, and can't remember when. I dunno.

Everyone aware "Mom's Taxi" is now out of service?

They do. They have been warned

February 1st. Na Trang. Vietnam. What's changed?

Just got back from my 40th running anniversary run. I jogged over to my old house so I could run the exact same route. Turns out it is 3.35Km in distance, and on my run 40 years ago I needed to stop twice for a breather.
Chatting to a running friend on the phone last night about various running events that we ran together made me realise that I've forgotten lots of races, they all seem to blend together in the mists of time and all but a couple of my running diaries were lost on a house move some years ago.
I've certainly saved a fortune on cigarettes over those 40 years, and it's through running that I've made some great friendships ( and gained a wife! )

So now it's time to look to the future and see what unfolds. The legs aren't as resilient as they once were, and I've found that I no longer bounce if I take a tumble when on a run. I've made a solemn promise to Mrs Tenkay to give up running, I told her that I'd pack up immediately after running a 100K on my 100th Birthday

Have a peaceful day folks

Afternoon everyone. It’s a cold but sunny day here in Coventry today . Took the car in to be serviced this morning , so I am just sitting around waiting for the call to tell me it’s ready . In normal times it would have been ready by 12 noon but these days everything takes so much longer, what with all the cleaning .
The sad thing is this is probably the highlight of my social calendar this week 😂😂😀😀

Well the commode and the lift thingy has arrived, but no bed yet. It's turned into a bright afternooon ideal for a walk but I'm going to have to sit in waiting and getting bored.

We are getting a lot of queries on FB. " We have bought a house and come to live here, where is the best place for food shopping?" Or another " We have bought a house and come to live here. Is there a school for my 8 year old child and where is it?"
Obviously fleeing from another country without checking anything in advance.
This appears to be happening all over the Highlands and Islands with people with lots of money buying houses blind which forces local workers out of the market.
Before we came to live here we checked everything out before deciding to take the job offer. We thought the house was not up to our accustomed standard but that was the only caveat.

I look forward to being one of them

Is this on Sky? Looks as though it is from the Sky Arts comment.

Yes, Sky Arts
